Andrew Luck has maintained all season that he doesn't care which team lands him in the NFL draft. He stuck to that line Wednesday even though it's make-or-break time for the two teams in the running for his services.

"My preferences haven't changed," the Stanford quarterback said at a Fiesta Bowl news conference. "Wherever I land, it will be great. I am not rooting for one team to win or lose or whatever."

All of his attention is focused on Monday's game against Oklahoma State, he said. "I'm not going to say I don't care about (the draft) because I do care about football. Wherever I end up, I'm sure it will be the best spot for me."

Until two weeks ago, the Colts were sailing toward the top spot in the Luck Sweepstakes with a winless record. But they have won their past two games and have to lose to the nearly-as-bad Jaguars in Jacksonville on Sunday (10 a.m. kickoff) to get the top pick.

At the same time, the other team in the Luck picture, the Rams, hosts the 49ers. If the Colts win their third straight game - pulling off one of the great top-pick "folds" in NFL history - the Rams would get the pick, unless they pull a huge upset of the team guided by Luck's former coach, Jim Harbaugh.

Colts fans have been excited much of the season over the prospect of Luck succeeding Peyton Manning, who missed the season after a couple of neck surgeries. Team owner Jim Irsay has said he would draft a "young quarterback" but would keep Manning if he were healthy. Manning and Luck, who have become friends through Manning's summer quarterbacks camp, could be a perfect mentor-pupil combination.

If the Rams get the top pick, things are more complicated. They drafted Oklahoma's Sam Bradford with the top pick in 2010. After a fine rookie season, his sophomore year was marred by injuries and the team's sagging fortunes.

Owner Stan Kroenke may dump general manager Billy Devaney and coach Steve Spagnuolo, in which case a new regime probably would want to start over and build around Luck. Bradford, still a valuable player, could be traded for draft picks.

On the other hand, if the Rams trade Luck, they could capture a boatload of high draft picks in a frenzied auction for a player considered the best quarterback prospect since Manning. There are plenty of teams thirsty for a quarterback, including the Dolphins and Redskins.

Luck said he didn't even know that the Rams were the other team in the running for the top pick. With characteristic humility, he said, "Who knows if I will be the first pick or not."

A reporter offered to bet him a dollar that he would be the top pick. "I can't do that," Luck said with a laugh. "NCAA student-athlete."

Guard David DeCastro said he wasn't surprised that Luck is oblivious to the various NFL machinations. "It's just Andrew," he said. "He hasn't changed one bit - still a little goofy. He wants to finish (his college career) the right way."
